BC4B Ltd was engaged to undertake a review of our transaction banking package and processes. The principal, Jeremy Sprott, delivered superb expertise and knowledge across domestic and international transaction banking resulting in benefits to our arrangements.

BC4B also assisted with a specific export contract to a challenging market under letter of credit. Jeremy’s inside knowledge of how the banks operate guided us to achieve a successful outcome.

I would recommend BC4B-Jeremy Sprott to any organisation requiring an independent review of its banking arrangements and expertise on international trade facilitation.

As a new business we were not experienced in the commercial institutional finance world and Working with Colin made it so easy.

We’ve also achieved a very competitive rate through this process. I’ll definitely be asking Colin and BC4B to assist us when we next need to rearrange our banking facilities.

Colin Ross of BC4B Ltd was engaged by our Company to lead us through our banking request for proposal (RFP) process.

Colin has many years’ experience in the banking sector which was evident from the wealth of knowledge he has obtained during that time and the professional manner in which he engaged with South Port and the banks. He put together a very comprehensive RFP based on feedback given by the banks that we approached.

We were able to utilise Colin’s extensive list of contacts in the banking sector throughout the process to ensure our RFP reached the right people. He guided us well through the process and by using the pre-determined selection criteria was able to rank the banks in a fair and un-biased manner according to what they could offer.

In terms of his knowledge of margins in the market Colin has his “finger on the pulse” and could therefore determine whether the offers put forward were appropriate.

We feel as though Colin went above and beyond assisting with some tasks that fell outside of the scope of works and would highly recommend his services to others.

Chief Executive, Southport Ltd.

Jeremy Sprott from banking consultants BC4B was engaged by the Blue Sky Meats New Zealand Limited board of directors to review the company’s banking package. The review included working capital facilities, transactional banking, international trade products and foreign exchange. As Interim CFO I worked closely with Jeremy pulling the information together and discussing the findings and considerations with our corporate relationship banker.

Jeremy has an in depth knowledge of banking products as well as market pricing and was able to add value to BSM by sharing considerations and arrangements that the bank had not previously offered. The review resulted in a repricing by the bank with considerable savings. Jeremy is an experienced banking professional whom I enjoyed working with. I would recommend Jeremy and BC4B to boards and companies for any independent banking help & support.
